On July 14th, the 9th year of Jiajing, tomorrow is the day when the ceremony of worshiping the heavens. After the Heaven Temple worships the heavens and ancestors, Jiang Xia will preside over the in charge of the rule, and then he will return all the Ming regime to Zhu Zaijiang. As long as Zhu Zaijiang succeeds in taking power, Jiang Xia will plan an unexpected fire, allowing Zhu Zaijiang to "disfigure" inside and go to court with a mask.

According to Jiang Xia, tomorrow is the zodiac auspicious day with the seven stars of Ziwei, which is a rare good day in a century. But in fact, tomorrow is actually called the Zhongyuan Festival and also called the Ghost Festival. According to rumors, the Ghost Pass will open on this day. If a person with low luck, he might still see the horror scene of "hundred ghosts walking at night".

At night, Jiang Xia sat in the Ganqing Palace in the palace, wearing a niclin python robe that Zhu Houzhao had given him back then, and a jade belt was tied around his waist. On his knees, there was a "Longyuan Sword" presented by the owner of the Zangjian Villa.

The sword body was inserted into the scabbard and it was impossible to see clearly, but the finely crafted dragon scale hilt at the hilt and the mighty dragon head at the top of the tail all marked that this was a sword that was invincible.

Jiang Xia's eyes were low, and his eyes were focused on the ground in front of him. His eyes were calm, as if he was thinking about something. Indeed, Jiang Xia was thinking about whether there would be any problems in each link of tomorrow's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

Opposite Jiang Xia, Zhu Zaijiang was sitting. He had already disguised himself. Since tomorrow's matters, Yin Ren's face was particularly careful and meticulous when disguising himself. Therefore, Zhu Zaijiang at this moment seemed to be almost no different from his handsome appearance before.

Jiang Xia didn't say anything, and Zhu Zaijiang didn't dare to disturb him. So the entire Ganqing Palace seemed particularly quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little depressed.

Jiang Xia suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhu Zaijiang. He smiled gently: "What? I'm very nervous?"

"Ah?" Zhu Zaijiang didn't react for a moment. After he reacted, he shook his head and said, "Oh... no... no nervous."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Zaijiang blushed. Doesn’t this hesitant way of speaking mean nervousness? So Zhu Zaijiang nodded and said, “There is...a little.”

Jiang Xia nodded. With his extraordinary six senses, he had already heard Zhu Zaijiang's rapid breathing deliberately suppressed and his violent heartbeat. Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Zaijiang and said, "Don't worry, I'll do it."

Zhu Zaijiang looked at Jiang Xia, and his eyes suddenly turned red. The simple eight words made his heart calm immediately. Zhu Zaijiang couldn't help but ask, "Tao Fu, why are you so kind to Zaijiang?"

Jiang Xia laughed slightly. This was the first time he heard Zhu Zaijiang ask him such a question. Yes, why? Is it because of the vow that was blessed and difficult to share? Is it because that guy agreed to his promise before he died?

If you really want to explain why, there are probably too many reasons. But Jiang Xia finally answered very simply: "Because I am your tutor."

Zhu Zaijiang blinked his starry eyes and burst into tears. What a sentence, "Because I am your grand tutor", this sentence may be better than tens of millions of reasons.

"Bang bang bang..." There was a knock on the door of the Ganqing Palace.

Jiang Xia said to the palace gate: "Come in." Soon, the palace gate was pushed open, Xiao Sha, dressed in black and carrying a long sword, walked into the hall.

As he approached, Jiang Xia nodded slightly to Xiao Sha and asked, "Brother Xiao, what's the matter?"

Xiao Sha said: "Guardian Geng just sent someone to report that the thousand disciples have returned to Beijing for 48,000 people, and are now setting up defenses along Xiaoyao Villa. Now, there are three floors inside and three floors outside Xiaoyao Villa, ensuring that no mosquito can fly in.

In addition, brothers Zhong Bin also sent people to report that the 60,000 people from the Jinyiwei have been prepared and have now arrived at the Taimiao to set up defense. There are also brothers Gaojia outside the door, and I want to report to you if you have anything to do."

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Let him come in."

"Okay." Xiao Sha nodded and then stepped out.

After a while, Gao Jia walked into the Ganqing Palace. Unlike Xiao Sha's calmness, Gao Jia's face was a little panicked. After Jiang Xia looked at it, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, just talk slowly."

Gao Jia said, "Sir, things are a little bad. The children of the martial arts lecture hall who received the order to help have only entered the capital by less than 4,000 people. The children of the martial arts lecture hall said that King Yu, King Kang, King Zhao, King Lu, King Qi, and the five princes carried out large-scale military exercises in their respective fiefs. They blocked the roads to the capital in the fiefs and the roads to the capital in the surrounding prefectures and counties. The people in our martial arts lecture hall were unable to bring troops into the capital, so they could only come alone to help."

After hearing this, Jiang Xia nodded, as if talking to Gao Jia, or as if talking to himself: "There are all civil wars in several states near the capital. The people who have changed their armors are all brightly armored, sharp weapons, and firearms. The only people who can afford these people are those famous families.

Now the five princes who are closer to the capital have stopped our people from entering the capital, which proves that many vassal kings have also participated in it. Famous families and royal family members. Who is in the entire Ming Dynasty who can unite these people?"

Jiang Xia glanced at Gao Jia and Zhu Zaijiang, and finally spoke four words in a heavy tone: "Top-level clan."

After saying these four words, Jiang Xia's expression became a little solemn. He had felt the tip of the iceberg even in later generations.

The depth of the foundation, the long tentacles, and the wide coverage of the relationship network are simply incredible.

I have to say that it is difficult for Jiang Xia to face these top clans. However, he now has 100,000 people in his hands, so he can basically not be afraid of anyone or power in this capital.

Jiang Xia's eyes narrowed, and a sense of fighting broke out in Wuming's eyes. He said lightly: "Okay, you dare to bet on the thousand-year foundation of your family. Don't I dare to respond? Since we want to play, let's play to the end!"

Jiang Xia said to Gao Jia: "Three things. First, immediately ask Uncle Geng to send disciples of Thousand Gate to find out to see if there are any family members in the capital that have recently entered the capital. Second, all the soldiers and horses from the three camps of the capital were sent to guard the streets, and no one who is not a Jinyiwei or a martial arts lecturer will be allowed to get close to the Taimiao. Third, send people to the martial arts lecturer to solve the problem of Cui Zhengyi and Miao Renhu. Remember, especially Miao Renhu, the body must be destroyed."

"Yes!" Gao Jia responded and immediately stepped down.

Jiang Xia stood up, walked outside the palace gate and looked at it. Looking at the sky, it should be almost time to Mao, and another hour will be Chen.

Chen hour is the beginning of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Whether Zaijiang succeeds in power today or whether he falls from the altar by himself depends on this move.

Outside the Ganqing Palace, all the masters beside Jiang Xia replaced the duties of the palace guards and were guarding the door. After about a cup of tea, the imperial attendant and a group of palace maids came to the door of the Ganqing Palace. After the search by Qian Juexing and others, the nearby attendant carefully pushed open the palace gate of the Ganqing Palace.

After crossing the threshold and entering the palace, the closest servant bowed to Zhu Zaijiang and said, "Your Majesty, the time is almost over. Do you think you will start changing your clothes now?"

After saying that, the close servant looked at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Yes, please change your clothes."

"Yes." The nearby servant waved, and the palace maids walked into the palace with clean water, spices, accessories and dragon robes.

Under Jiang Xia's gaze, Zhu Zaijiang changed into a dragon robe, put on a pearl crown, washed his hands with water, and rinsed his mouth with green salt. A handsome and upright young emperor appeared.

Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Zaijiang and felt that the more he looked, the more satisfied he felt.

The palace maid held the spices and smeared Zhu Zaijiang and then left the palace.

At the hour of Mao, the closest servant entered the palace again and reminded him: "Emperor, all the officials have prepared in the playground outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the ceremonial guard has also arrived outside the palace. Do you see if you set off now?"

Jiang Xia stood up holding the Longyuan Sword in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The closest servant saluted Zhu Zaijiang and Jiang Xia, then ran to the palace gate and shouted in a long voice: "The Emperor left the palace..."

Zhu Zaijiang glanced at Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia nodded at him. Zhu Zaijiang gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowed, and immediately exuded a sense of dignity and self-righteousness.

Whether it can turn into a dragon on rainy days depends on today.

Jiang Xia's hand holding the sword tightened at this moment.

After stepping out of the Ganqing Palace, the shouts of "The Emperor's Out of the Palace" were passed down along the way. Jiang Xia and a group of masters followed Zhu Zaijiang and walked out of the palace.

In Jiangxia's opinion, there is only one most dangerous place, that is, the road is affected by people. If you walk to Taimiao safely, the overall situation has been decided. Because the Taimiao is surrounded by Jinyiwei and martial arts lecturers. Anyone who wants to make any changes in Taimiao will be killed by Jinyiwei and martial arts lecturers.

In short, no one stops today. Jiangxia wants to protect Zhu Zaijiang and take charge of power. If someone stops, Jiangxia also wants to protect Zhu Zaijiang and take charge of power!

The Taimiao worships heaven and ancestors, which is a major event. Therefore, all officials are wearing court uniforms and neatly dressed. The number of ceremonial guards, chariots, canopies, and other items are well prepared. Of course, there are also various sacrifices for offering sacrifices to heaven.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Xia and others immediately raised their hearts. The three camps of the capital, Eight Davids, had a total of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the relationships inside were complicated. Jiang Xia couldn't explain clearly what was reliable and what was unreliable. After all, it used to look like humans, but now it was a ghost.

The distance from the imperial palace to Taimiao is not far.

Although he was worried all the way, what surprised Jiang Xia was that there were no accidents along the way.

Seeing the Taimiao right in front of him, Jiang Xia felt a little unreal. This... is over? Shouldn’t there be a large army rebellion or assassination of masters?

At the entrance of the Taimiao, Qiu Wenshi led the children of the martial arts lecture hall to guard the entrance. Seeing Jiang Xia, Qiu Wenshi immediately came up and whispered to Jiang Xia: "Sir, Cui Zhengyi and Miao Renhu, the subordinates have already dealt with."

Jiang Xia nodded and felt completely at peace.
